Why can't you guys make up your minds? Which is it?!

Um, relax please.
First off, I am not a "Soofi" and secondly, it's the tariqas that have isnad, not tasawwuf. Just like the Hanafi madhhab traces back to Imam Abu Hanafi and his teachers, Shafi madhhab traces back to the Imam Shafi and his teachers, etc... We don't say fiqh originates from x source, but rather the schools.
And that theory of ahlul suffa is about how the term tassawuf came about (as they have the same root word "soof"), not the concept itself.
Anyways, you just did a good job at exemplifying both your ignorance and your lacking desire to understand rather than argue, so there is no need to discuss this with you any further.
